Whether hanging across computer screens, windows, or mantles, or even atop cakes, handmade garlands make everything a little bit more fun, and I always find mini garlands to be the most delightful of all! So, if you’ve got a few minutes, some paper, and the desire to make someone’s day—Valentine’s Day or not—you’ll love this charming mini kirigami heart garland tutorial from Alyssa at Alyssa & Carla!

In case you’re not familiar, kirigami is a technique that’s similar to origami, but it involves cutting paper in addition to folding. And, since you’ll be snipping, you won’t need to start out with a perfectly square piece of paper, so this simple heart project is a great way to use up some of those pretty paper scraps.
